"We recently reported that Drakengard 3's protagonist, Zero, will have other allies aside from dragons to help fight on the battlefield. They're male characters called "Apostles," who weâ€™ve briefly described. This week's issue of Dengeki gives us a closer look.

According to Dengeki, the Apostles serve the role of... satiating Zero's sexual desires. She can also take along two of them to help out on the battlefield."

Not surprised at the lack of another SaGa game (Squeenix has pretty much canned everything from its pre-merger days save for DQ and FF), and I believe that the world can do without a 5th Star Ocean game (hell, we already have Final Fantasy for the futuristic space "Syfy" and pants-on-head retarded plots quota now), though I would be remiss about the lack of another Profile, but given that they didn't shut down the possibility of another Resonance of Fate game, I'm not worried about that either.

I mostly pop in occasionally to give my two cents on certain controversial things, so if you disagree then send a PM, because I generally don't check for replies in threads in case I feel like replying and then things get heated/derailed.

I am interested based on the trailer. Gameplay looks very similar to the previous games (for better or worse), but hopefully the camera is improved. Story will definitely be interesting, but Jesus, the tiny guy looks waaay to young. That is going to get super disturbing fast I think.

I can't think of many female anti-heroes main characters in gaming, and I can't think of many games featuring this particular brand of blatant sexualization across all ages, genders and body types, so the game will at the very least be different.Here's to hoping it is actually good, and that it eventually makes it over.

"She is the fifth of the Utautai sisters and governs the mountain country. She speaks and acts with grace and has the refined personality of a good listener. But behind her prim and stiff personality hides a twisted inferiority complex. Much like the other Utautai, she possesses a high sex drive, but due to her repressed personality, she has never been able to act upon it and, among her sisters, is the only virgin."

I admire a J-game that's willing to actually be more upfront about sex and virgins, I feel like that's almost Japanese-taboo half the time (Tales used a unicorn to barely or ambiguously graze the subject? Eitherway, it's certainly omitted from a lot of games).

Dunno if this is the best way to do it (it's like sorority girls in Drakengard American Pie discussing who lose their V-card), but I like it anyways.

...the Drakengard/Last Story artist has certainly taken a more anime route these days.... And yeah I've already pictured watering Zero's eye
